Oh, the Yummy Chummies are an option too, but they also have a good amount of sugar in them if I remember right.

My personal favorite is frozen green peas, but those are people food and after a couple hours they get pretty nasty. I wish I could find freeze dried green peas somewhere.

Charlee Bears come in a non-chicken variety, too, I think. I don't know for sure. Generally I don't like them because they're grain-heavy, but I do have a bag in my car as "emergency treats" (after forgetting to bring treats for training too many times lol).  They take longer to chew, but I bet they can be broken down pretty easily into quarters.

I feed the cats purina one currently and there is also purina one beyond which I have been using in place of cat treats, but both of those have chickem meal in them.

I will admit that I am doing more reading of dog and cat food ingredient lists lately. WHile I may not be buying the "best" food, I am trying to make certain I am buying stuff where a protein (chicken, salmon etc) is listed first and an y corn based ingredient is far far down on the list.

Zukes does tiny training treats in crunchy and in soft ones, both have non chicken options. They're relatively healthy and have better ingredients than some other treats on the market. The soft ones don't crumble or get icky, they keep their shape., the crunchy ones break in half. They're really well priced and very easily accessible too.

Polka Dog has their Might Mutt training treats, one has no meat in it, the other has some beef in it I believe. If you have a slobbery dog they can get get a little slimy. Also Paws Gourmet, they do a small crunchy and soft treat, their soft ones can also get slimy.

I second the Charlee Bears, they come in Liver and Cheese and Egg, they are simple, low calorie and good for a bait bag.

If it comes down to it you could always dehydrate or bake your own.
